This page shows 24 affordable 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Kips Bay that are in good cause buildings, with a median rent of $4,015 and an affordable ceiling of $4,500.

No. Affordable on Openigloo here means market-relative affordable apartments, using asking rents at or below $4,500 for this page's scope. It is not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.

Openigloo sets the threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Manhattan borough, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. For this page, that results in a maximum asking rent of $4,500.

Location within Kips Bay, building age, amenities, lease length, and move-in fees can change the full cost. A lower asking rent can still be less affordable if deposits, utilities, or broker fees are higher.

Confirm whether the unit and building are actually covered, how renewals and rent increases are handled, and whether any lease terms or exceptions apply. Tenant-protection status does not replace a careful review of the lease.

The median rent is $4,015, which gives you a realistic midpoint for 1-bedroom budgeting in this scope. Use it with the 24 apartment count to gauge how much room you may have above or below the middle of the market.
